WWE 2K15: 10 Ways It Lived Up To The Hype

6. NXT Involvement

Wrestling gamers were disappointed to learn last year that the only NXT involvement in WWE 2K14 was the inclusion of the Full Sail University arena and the NXT and Tag Team Championships. However, with NXT taking a major precedence in WWE over the last year, its involvement in WWE 2K15 is more than anyone expected. A part of the all-new MyCareer mode, there are a handful of NXT standouts to choose from including Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Bo Dallas, Rusev and Corey Graves. All are either currently on the main roster or will be very soon, so for WWE to include them in the game was a wise move. Not only are all the aforementioned up-and-comers in the game, but their exciting movesets are as well. Don't lie: the first thing you'll be doing when you purchase WWE 2K15 is executing Neville's breathtaking Red Arrow finisher. The next thing you'll do is play as Zayn so you can perform his spectacular tornado DDT through the turnbuckles. NXT is easily one of the bigger focal points of the WWE Network, so it's only logical that WWE would attempt to push it as much as possible by making the brand an integral part of the new video game.
